Lurulu ist die unmittelbare Fortsetzung zu Kaleidoskop der Welten und Jack Vances Schwanengesang, wie er selbst gesagt hat. Myron Tany ist weiterhin mit dem Trampfrachter Glicca unterwegs von einem Hafen zum anderen, auf der Suche nach Abenteuern und seiner Tante Hester, die ursprünglich mit ihm zusammen ausgezogen war, um den berühmten Jungbrunnen zu finden. Mit an Bord sind solche illustren Zeitgenossen wie eine Gruppe Priester, die auf dem Weg ist, eine Weltbegehung zu unternehmen, und die Schaustellertruppe um Moncrief dem Mausreiter, die auf ein besonders spektakuläres Engagement am Trevanian-Theater hofft. Doch bevor er sich um seine eigenen Angelegenheiten kümmern kann, hilft Myron Tany Kapitän Maloof bei dessen privaten Schwierigkeiten mit seiner Mutter - wie sich herausstellt ein hochgradig gefährliches Unterfangen. Lurulu by Jack Vance. Well, maybe so. But what's a rule without exceptions? And this year's prime exception to the above dictum must be Jack Vance's Lurulu .
